This was the last weekend for the igloos so there were some miscommunication between Dewey’s and Braxton regarding the food that was being served, but we didn’t care and we went with the flow and it was awesome! Can’t wait to do it next year!

Our updated menu takes you on a journey across Asia, featuring the vibrant tastes of Thailand with aromatic Pad Thai, the comforting warmth of Vietnamese Pho, the delicate artistry of Japanese sushi and ramen, and the hearty flavors of Korean soups. Whether you’re craving a seafood boil bursting with Cajun spices or looking to explore the flavors of new Asian dishes, we invite you to embark on this expanded culinary adventure with us."

The concept of Asian Cajun Fusion intrigued us, so we made reservations knowing this was the former Joe’s Crab Shack. First impression wasn’t great-the outside desperately needed weeding and some landscaping. We were seated immediately, but despite letting them know on the reservation it was our anniversary, we were seated closely between two occupied tables. At 5:30 the restaurant was fairly empty. In the larger room there was a tv showing the Reds game, but the smaller room where we were seated had nothing-no tv, no music. On the good side, our waitress was lovely-friendly, personable. I got a seafood boil, my husband got the pho. Both were delicious, and fairly priced. I ordered a Pinot Grigio, it was served warm. Will we go back-probably not.
